Yes, you're right. This is better to do first. I just thought, this won't happen in his "dumpcycle 0" configuration. -- Marc Muehlfeld (Leitung Systemadministration) Zentrum fuer Humangenetik und Laboratoriumsmedizin Dr. Klein und Dr. Rost Lochhamer Str. 29 - D-82152 Martinsried Telefon: +49(0)89/895578-0 - Fax: +49(0)89/895578-78 http://www.medizinische-genetik.de

Did I understand you right: You backuped your clients and one DLE failed.
And now you want to rerun the complete set on the same tape? In this case
you can relabel your tape
amlabel -f {Set} FULLBACK-10
Amanda ll tread the tape as new. But make sure that your really want to
overwrite the tape. You ll lose the backup of that day.
I usually do: (actually I avoid it, but anyway, if really needed)
First inform amanda that this tape is no longer valid:
amrmtape theconfig FULLBACK-10
Now amanda will clear the indexes etc, but also adjust the bookkeeping
of what levels were successfully backed up. If you omit this, then
amanda will e.g. plan a level 2, based on the level 1 DLE that did not
had errors, but was stored on that tape.
Then label it again, using the "-f" flag:
amlabel -f theconfig FULLBACK-10
